What investors mean when they are "waiting for a lead" (VC Sunday School) + Seth Bannon of 50 Years | E1395
First up is a VC Sunday school where Jason discusses what investors mean when they say "we are interested in investing, but come back when you found a lead" (1:51). Then, we tease Molly's EV review of the Audi e-tron Sportback (20:42). To wrap, Molly does a This Week in Climate Startups segment with Seth Bannon, a founding Partner of Fifty Years, a Venture capital firm investing in climate solutions (34:12). You will learn:
1. The convictions that unpin Fifty Years' investment thesis
2. Why Seth thinks VC has lost his way
3. Why increasing longevity could be a net-positive for climate
4. How Fifty Years measures impact of their investments
5. How Seth evaluates the potential negative externalities of his investments
6. How his PhD to VC program works
(recorded on 2/9/22)
